I'm sure you know of our BE99 Captain time requirements, but I'll reference them here: 1,200 TT, 50 ME, 500 XC (defined as point to point), 100 night, 500 PIC, 75 instrument
So, at this moment it looks like you are short on TT, ME, and (just a little) night.

If you intend to wait until you hit 1,200TT to apply, I'm sure you'll be good on night by then. Depending on what your ME time is at that point, we might be able to consider you since you would be good (and way above in some cases) on the other times. If your ME is still around 35, the Chieftain would probably be your only option. If it's closer to 100, you should be fine (especially if you are higher on other times - like you are for PIC). Ultimately, your recruiter would have to get it approved by the flight department, but usually it isn't an issue.

Sorry for the length! Let me know if you have any other questions!
Apologies for my late response, I appreciate the additional detail, thank you for taking the time. I am hoping to be at 1200TT by January, based on my times if I am at 1000 PIC time and exceed all other requirements by about 15-20%, how much additional multi-time would you recommend?
